[blparent] Toddler Toys

Sorry I didn't read the messages after to see Eva's.  I think they were 
pink, purple, yellow, red and blue ones.  There was a cow, pig, horse, duck 
or chicken and I can't remember what else.  Your babies will love it.

Snow is God's way of reminding us that beauty can be found even in the 
coldest hearts.
